Oxidative stress in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and related complications: Current therapeutics strategies and future perspectives

Jasvinder Singh Bhatti et al.

Summary: Type 2 diabetes is a rapidly rising metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction. High blood sugar levels lead to the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and oxidative stress, which contribute to the development and progression of the disease. Antioxidants can neutralize ROS and maintain bodily homeostasis. However, the efficacy of antioxidant therapies in preventing diabetes is conflicting in clinical evidence.

Sterculia tragacantha Lindl Leaf Extract Ameliorates STZ-Induced Diabetes, Oxidative Stress, Inflammation and Neuronal Impairment

Amos Sunday Onikanni et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that the aqueous extract of Sterculia tragacantha leaf (AESTL) exhibited antioxidant, antidiabetic, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Molecular docking analysis indicated that bioactive compounds like epicatechin and procyanidin B2 were responsible for these activities. Overall, the results suggest that AESTL extract could be beneficial for halting diabetes progression and associated neuroinflammation complications.
